"Football Meets Culture" Tournament 2018

On the 10th of June the football ground of Eintracht Frankfurt turned into the location for the "Football meets Culture" tournament 2018. 430 children from the LitCam projects in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Berlin, Nuremberg, Neuötting, Würzburg, Mainz, Duisburg, Herne, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen, Stuttgart and Dortmund came together to play against each other in three age groups. Fairplay and getting to know each other were just as important as the football results itselfs.The event was supported by MoneyGram, Postcode Lotterie, Deutschland rundet auf and our nationwide cooperation partner, the DFL Stiftung.

The "Football meets Culture" programme offers football training in combination with additional classes and cultural activities to disadventaged children between 8 and 12 years. The tournament is the final event of each programme year and a highlight for every participating child.
